That film was excellent.

And also, I've been thinking about sonics new Down smash and I don't think its a better move than his old one. The old one had range and power and this one doesn't have range but I'm not sure how much power the move has.

I don't see why they'd nerf it, it was one of his kill moves.

Fun fact: I'm in the Sonic fan film.


3:10 - I'm on the left.

3 seconds of moderate fame.

Can I get your autograph! Lol

Better than nothing right?
Haha at the time I didn't really realize how many people would watch it. I was told that they needed extras for a Sonic fan film and I lived a couple blocks away from Union Square where they were shooting so I just went for it. I think the director graduated from my school so that's how I caught wind of it.

Tails, Robotnik, or Metal Sonic.

I used to want Knuckles, but with gliding gone, no point in having him.

I think it boils down to Eggman, because he has teh mechs. And honestly, I wouldn't mind him having his SA2 moves.
For jabs, he could use the Big Arm from the boss with the same name.
He NEEDS to have the bumper-fists from Sonic CD.

And Death Egg robo for a Final Smash, throwing his spike arms all around, squashing opponents, etc. Would be a great rival to Giga Bowser.

I think it was very wise of Sakurai to recognize that several of the unique additions that were made to Brawl turned out to be bad ideas, and removed them. Gliding, tethers, tripping. The game is simply better without them. Super hype for a polished smash4; less glitches than brawl for sure!

But tethers remained. Don't forget about swimming.
I still think it would've been a better if underwater mechanics was simply low gravity (or infinite double jumps).

I feel like Shadow would be the most likely second character rep... Let's be honest.

Escape from Clone City.

I for one won't miss Sonic's ssbb dsmash. It was slow and it needed to be sweetspotted in order to have any power at all.
This split kick is faster and doesn't seem to have a sourspot. Sure it could be different in the final build, but I see this move being much more useful even if it is slightly weaker.

what so bad about Tether recovery, it had no problems in melee and in brawl. and why the hate for Gliding. i can understand tripping but i will kind of miss it got some funny pictures from it.

Gliding allowed for MK to be able to recover from basically anywhere on the screen.

It's not the only reason. Only a couple characters had it, and it offers more unnecessary options for recovery. For example, Pit had numerous jumps, a glide, and an Up B that flies around everywhere.

Not only did they change shuttle loop, but they changed Pit's Up B entirely as well. It's clear that with this iteration they're going for a better balance of recovery options, whereas too many characters in Brawl were way too safe when coming back to the stage.

I'm definitely going to be doing a major analysis of sonic's change once i get my hands on the game. Though imo sonic and megaman are gonna be a scary team. me and my friend plan on teaming with these characters Sonic's dthrow to megamans dair >:3 That and the fact that both characters have spring like moves makes recovering for both really easy.

That and the fact that we now auto snap the ledges with both side b and down b makes things all the sweeter. I would've liked the axe kick but i can't be too upset given all these improvements made to him.

Sakurai is the master troll. Greninja having a mewtwo like color, pit having a sorta dark pit color, fox with wolf fur color. Marth with having his cloths colors resemble roys. luigi with TWO identical colors... and stripper pole taunting Palutena... i'm not too angry over sonic's colors tbh as i usually only use sonic's default color.

Just a huge missed opportunity for them to add hype with minimal effort. Like, I'm shocked there's no Ms. Pacman or Pacman Jr.

Nah no translations that i can see although we do get a better look at the FD version of GHZ in those sonic pics. Hopefully we get DLC costumes/ alts. if they can make 4 olimars slots into Alph alts i think having ther alts for other characters later isn't to far fetched.

To be honest, I don't mind Sonic's alt colors being different shades of blue, seeing him change color is just odd to me.

I came here to say how unhappy I was with the color choices for Sonic.

But looking at them one more time...

They're not that bad.
White Sonic, I can dig it. (Looks nothing like Silver, like they made it sound like).

Still, I'll keep my default Sonic, and Yellow for mirror matches. And cyan is growing on me REAL quick, but that's because I love Adventure, and it sorta looks like the Adventure upgraded Sonic.

Link got a Fierce Deity.. Was it that hard to have a Darkspine Sonic? :(

Yes this confirms a Final Destination version of Green Hill. YEAH I'm so happy. I'm going to add that to my thread as soon as possible. Im I the only one that thinks Sonic's model looks like Adventure mixed with Sonic 2?
